The single most expensive part of home building for Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County is the purchase and development of buildable land. Habitat received a big boost to its land inventory in November through the donation by Chase Bank of six lots at the corner of 25th and Sherman streets in Port Townsend.
The donation came through the Chase Community Revitalization Program, which donates real estate–owned properties to nonprofits for development or rehabilitation.
“As partners, we share in the commitment to revitalize neighborhoods and provide affordable housing to low- and moderate-income families,” said Brent Semachko, vice president of government and community partnerships for Chase.
The land is to be developed after the completion of the Birkenfeld Community on Hancock Street in 2016.
“This donation is a great step towards Habitat’s sustainability,” said Habitat executive director Jamie Maciejewski. “Inexpensive, buildable land is hard to come by, which makes this donation all the more valuable.”
